Quick answer
Is there an Oxylabs alternative for individuals, with no company verification?
Nameless Proxy is an Oxylabs alternative without KYC, paid in crypto, with residential proxies from $0.53/GB. As of October 2026, Oxylabs says every customer must answer a KYC questionnaire, its KYC policy allows ID verification or a compliance call in some cases, and its help centre states it does not accept cryptocurrency. Nameless Proxy has no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Log in with a 16-digit account number and buy residential IPs from $0.53/GB.

Does Oxylabs require KYC?
Yes, for every customer. As of October 2026, Oxylabs' KYC and safety page says every customer has to fill out its KYC form, so it can assess risks, usage and potential. Its compliance teams also check customer activity on a regular basis.
The KYC policy (PDF) describes a "multi-layered KYC approach". Personal details are mandatory, and companies also submit business registration details. In some cases, "ID verification or a compliance call with both parties may be required". It sets no company-only rule like Bright Data's, but every applicant goes through the same process.

Who should stay with Oxylabs?
Teams that need ZIP or state targeting, HTTP3, card or wire payment, or the best measured success rate: Proxyway's 2026 tests gave Oxylabs 99.93 % on residential infrastructure. Proxyway also found the median fell to 74.43 % on real targets such as Amazon and Google, so test on your own targets.
What are the limits of Nameless Proxy?
We have no third-party benchmark. There is no free trial, no state or ZIP targeting, no HTTP3 and no card payment. City stock in small countries varies. Our Acceptable Use Policy blocks banking, government and payment portals and SMTP.
What changes in your code?
Only the proxy URL: host, port and username. Targeting and sessions go in the username, USERNAME-country-{cc}-city-{city}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}. Without a session ID each request gets a new IP; with one, the exit stays the same for up to 60 minutes. More in the Python proxy guide.
import requests
proxy = "http://USERNAME-country-ke-session-a1b2-ttl-10:[email protected]:7777"
r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json",
proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)
print(r.json())Frequently asked questions
Does Oxylabs accept Bitcoin or other crypto?
No. As of October 2026, Oxylabs' help centre states: "We do not accept cryptocurrency payments." It takes cards, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay and wire transfers arranged through its sales team. Nameless Proxy accepts only crypto: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC); see paying with crypto.
Can an individual use Oxylabs?
Its KYC policy asks personal details from customers and adds business registration details for companies; it sets no company-only rule like Bright Data's. Either way, an individual completes the KYC questionnaire and may be asked for ID or a call. Nameless Proxy asks for no identity details at all.
Is Nameless Proxy as reliable as Oxylabs?
We cannot say, and we will not invent a number. Proxyway's 2026 tests measured Oxylabs' residential infrastructure success rate at 99.93 %, the best result in that report. Nameless Proxy has not been tested by a third party. Run a small pack against your own targets first.
Do I need a monthly plan at Nameless Proxy?
No. You top up a prepaid balance and buy one-off residential packs from it; the smallest is 1 GB — $1.88. Minimum top-up $25; unused balance stays on your account (never expires, non-refundable). Nothing renews, and the traffic never expires. Oxylabs' residential pricing, as of October 2026, is monthly plans from $30 for 5 GB. Steady monthly use may suit a plan; bursty work suits packs.
Which targeting do I lose by leaving Oxylabs?
State and ZIP-code targeting, and HTTP3. Oxylabs' pricing page lists continent, country, state, city and ZIP targeting; Nameless Proxy offers country and city. You keep HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, rotating or sticky sessions for up to 60 minutes, and IP whitelisting.
How does Nameless Proxy handle abuse without KYC?
With rules and enforcement instead of identity files. Our Acceptable Use Policy blocks banking, government and payment portals and SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587. Abuse reports go to [email protected] and get a reply as a priority. Accounts that break the rules are suspended or closed.
